Greetings, Chattanooga!
Seriously, God bless all you parents-turned-home-school-teachers overnight. To help you out, we’ve officially launched a new site for families and children stuck at home during the coronavirus crisis. We’ve partnered with a number of cultural and educational institutions around town – Hunter Art Museum and Creative Discovery Museum, for example – to bring you fun activities, videos and tips for home schooling.
It’s 100% free to all. So, check it out, or share it with a friend!
And now, today’s top stories:
School systems across Southeast Tennessee and Northeast Alabama are providing meals to students and young children through bus route deliveries and drive-through pickup stations. Here’s the list.
For those who are craving pizza and beer during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pizza Bros can provide. Some Chattanooga restaurants are offering beer to go as craft breweries wait for the delivery OK during COVID-19 crisis.
And, while fashion and boutique retailers are closing and laying off workers due to the coronavirus, some retailers who are staying open are rewarding their workers still on the job with extra pay, at least temporarily.
